Can't breathe, chest hurts.

Can't see, eyes blurred.

Can't think, mind's blown.

Can't cry, no more.

 

These are the things that I see, I know you're sleeping alone

You think of the could-have-beens, and the finally ended storms.

You feel the power of lyrics and your eyes begin to hurt.

Can't take it no more...

 

And you think you're crazy and helpless

You thought you found your answers to eternal happiness

How could it fall so quickly?

How could it be like this?

You're torn apart, you're hoping that the truth ain't this

You try to calm down your anger, but this feeling's too strong

You're asking how is this happening, thought you had it all along

And your sitting down, in a corner, with your eyes on thier picture

And your hands are torn up, from beating your walls up

Run your hand through your hair, and you let a loud sigh

You forgive yourself; stand in the rain outside

You let out your pain in every drop, scream out their name with this stress

You walk around in a fire burning ring and depressed

Deep inside you can't let go

All this time you've loved them so

Confused if you're riding solo

Don't wanna look back out your window..

All the money you spent, and the sacrificed time

Wasted...wasted on a broken diamond

It's like -

All your work went out of place, now you gotta keep your heart tamed

Impossible, you think, life will never be the same

You will never win this game

Life is over - it seems over

Nothing ever felt so real

They don't ever lend a hand, seems like you won't ever heal

Can't forget the times your heart was broken

And the times you fell so hopeless

You sing your heart, breaking your voice from all the pain

Out of tune, out of breath, take it all in anyway

It doesn't hurt, it doesn't matter at all

The choking in your throat can't hurt as much as this fall

And you're, out of your mind - you can't think strait and it's fine

To you there ain't no line, you throw your hands up till you're high

It can't hurt no more

It doesn't matter anymore

It won't ever go away

You still fall for them every day....

You can't save up your tears 'cause there's nothing left to save

They don't help you through your pain, they walk out the door with shame

They don't know what they put you through

And they won't see it any way...

 

Finally fed up, you look into thier eyes

Stroke thier hair, hold them close, but you're too prepared to die

And you're crazy now, you can't fake it anymore...

You say "good-bye my love...

I can't take it, it's over".
